Alexander is having a bad day. To be honest, it’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But, everybody has those. This delightful adaptation of Judith Viorst’s popular book sets Alexander’s trying life to music and brings to stage one of America’s feistiest characters. Alexander’s day starts with gum in his hair and ends with—yuck!—kissing on TV. Alexander’s struggles with life’s daily dramas entertain and educate young audiences who identify with him, encouraging them to share their feelings and realize that bad days happen.
